Green lentils can be cooked without presoaking, as they cook quite quickly and keep their shape. However, if you have the time, soaking them first will shorten the cooking time slightly.

To make Brown Rice and Lentil Pilaf substitute the same amount of brown rice for the bulgur wheat. You could also stir in a 300 g can sweet corn towards the end of cooking, if you like.

Bulgur wheat is very easy to cook and can be used in almost any way you would normally use rice, hot or cold. Some of the finer grades need hardly any cooking, so check the packet for cooking times.
